context_page_description: The University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry is a dental school located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is one of the ten dental schools in Canada. It is the largest dental school in Canada with a range of undergraduate and graduate level programs and an enrolment of around 610 students. The faculty is located at the heart of Downtown Toronto's Discovery District, a neighbourhood with a high concentration of hospitals and research institutes, just south of the University of Toronto's St. George campus. In 2014, the Faculty of Dentistry joined the Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration, providing support in building capacity for oral health in Ethiopia by creating collaborative teaching opportunities.
context_section_description: Further, the Faculty of Dentistry, in 2019, had initiated a new and innovative research imaging facility, dedicated to the Research community of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The facility is known as CAMiLoD, which stands for The Collaborative Advanced Microscopy Laboratories of Dentistry. The facility was established by Faculty of Dentistry's distinguished professor, Dr. Boris Hinz who envisions this facility as a means of empowering and facilitating researchers of all stripes, by rendering Advanced Microscopy and dedicated image analysis services for studying cells, tissues, and all sorts of specimens
  The facility has access to the most innovative microscopy which are accompanied by latest cutting edge technologies and specialized softwares intended to amplify the scope of research and quantitative analysis for investigators.
  Dr Hinz, the Director of CAMiLoD, articulates that the facility's integrated cell culture approach and diversified microscopy that produce 3D and 4D, high resolution images can be extremely beneficial for every researcher. CAMiloD provides its users with Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), light and hard electron microscopy, Confocal, Sliding Electron Microscopy, Epifluorescence microscopes, Wide Field Microscopy and several other options. 
  Whether a researcher is endeavouring to view and analyze cells from various angles, view live cells, or study small particles which requires innovative microscopy, CAMiLoD is assisting researchers and students with such scientific tasks
  CAMiLoD is a research hub for all researchers in the life-sciences and Biomedical field, whether a student or researcher has microscopy and imaging data analysis needs, or a Biotech and Pharmaceutical company is in need of a research facility, CAMiLoD has its door open. By being UofT's core state-of-the-art imaging facility, CAMiloD seeks to empower the research community by collaborating with industry partners, that are seeking to enhance and further their scientific research.
  In addition, also being Toronto's core and most innovative microscopy laboratory, CAMiLoD offers a variety of meaningful and experiential events for its users. Which include but are not limited to:
  Microscopy Training Workshops
  Online Workshops
  Courses
  Seminars
  Customized Image Analysis
  One-on-one Training
  Networking Events and Hackathons
